Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum. Based on my research, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is bit of mathematics used to ensure that your data is OK when being transfered.

CRC error on hard drive … Trying to access it gives a cyclic redundancy check error. Is the drive toast? The data isn’t critical (it’s one of multiple backups), I just want to know if it’s worth keeping it around or if it’s dying and should get tossed.

Sometimes a computer hard drive will fail with a CRC Error, often during data transfer. This page explains why and what can be done about it.
